Never shying away from cooperation with entities and organizations engaged in efforts running parallel to its own research projects on Ankara and its surroundings in line with its mission, VEKAM organized the “New Research Projects: Architecture, History and Culture in Byzantine and Ottoman Eras” to support and encourage new research in cooperation with Koç University, Anatolian Civilizations Research Center (AnaMed). The event provided a venue for the researchers supported by AnaMed in 2014 to present their new findings on Byzantine and Ottoman eras.
